Information Collection

The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc. (NAWCC) is the sole owner of the information collected on www.nawcc.org. NAWCC collects information from our users at several different points on our website.

Registration

You are not required to register in order to use the nawcc.org website. NAWCC members may log in to access member-only content areas.

NAWCC Store Orders

Information requested from buyers is used for billing and order fulfillment. The NAWCC store uses industry standard SSL encryption.

NAWCC Membership Application/Renewal Form

The Membership Application/Renewal Form requires contact information (e.g., name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (e.g., credit card number and expiration date) from applicants. Other information is asked about applicants' horological hobbies and sponsors. This information is used by the Membership department for billing and mailings. This information is also supplied to NAWCC chapters for recruitment and regional mart membership authentication. If we have trouble processing an application, the information is used to contact the applicant. The Membership Application/Renewal Form is an SSL secured form.

Profile

Information is collected through cookies, log files, and/or third parties to create a profile of user activities on our website. Collected information is used to improve the content of the site for users. We do not share this information with third parties.

Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on our website.

Choice/Opt out

Our Membership Application provides applicants the opportunity to opt-out of having their contact information given to NAWCC Chapters, other horologically related mailing lists, or made accessible online to other members through the member directory.

Links

This website contains links to other sites. The NAWCC is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.

Surveys

Occasionally, we request information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary. Typically, contact information (name and shipping address), and demographic information (e.g., zip code) are asked. Contact information will be shared with the survey sponsors. Users’ personal identity information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. The intermediary that we use to conduct these surveys does not use users’ personal identity information for any secondary purposes.

Security

This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. Any sensitive information submitted via the website is protected both online and off-line.

On registration/order forms sensitive information (e.g., credit card number and/or social security number) is encrypted and protected with the best encryption software in the industry -- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when users are on a non-secure page. To learn more about SSL: www.thawte.com.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g., a billing clerk or a membership service representative) are granted access to personal identity information.

If users have questions about the security at our website, send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information

If a user’s personal identity information (e.g., zip code, phone, email, or postal address) changes, or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update, or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. Usually this is done on the Membership Application page or by emailing our This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
